iTunes playlist won't burn to 80 min CD

See the iTunes installers section of the Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates and reinstall the last version that worked correctly for you. All versions of 12.7.x released so far use the same database layout so switching between them should be relatively simple.

There was a general issue burning CDs with iTunes 12.7.2.x for Windows at anything over 2x speed.

iTunes 12.7.3.46 for Windows appears to burn CDs normally at full speed and with mixed formats.

It can be downloaded from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. Some regional sites may supply an older version.

When burning or printing use the right-click context menu on the playlist in the sidebar. File > Burn Playlist to Disc still seems to be unreliable and may attempt to burn the wrong list.

Check that you're not adding gaps between songs that might take you over the limit.

I have EXACTLY the same problem, and spoke to Apple Tech Support on the phone about it, who just advised me to wait until the next upgrade, or use an alternative media burner. I just burned a cd which was 1 hour 18 minutes and 4 seconds which seems to be the new limit, whereas previously I could take it up to 1 hour 19 minutes and maybe 30 seconds on top of that. Over that has always been a problem, which is fair enough, but this is a new thing!

Duane, I used maximum speed and a good Maxell brand of blank cd. No gaps, no sound check, and the track list box was unchecked. But I USED to get up to 1 hour 19 minutes plus up to 30 seconds of music on a disc, so I still firmly believe I am still affected by the latest iTunes problems. I'm not convinced speed of burning is an issue, or brand of cd! Really looking forward to the next update and this being sorted out!

No worries, it probably looks much more complicated than it is because I've included all sorts of information for the rare occasions when it doesn't go smoothly.
